What does Panache smell like?

Citrus and magnolia come first, while pink pepper and rum add a light spiciness and sweetness. In the heart, jasmine and honeysuckle carry the floral side over a woody base of oak wood and vetiver. Amber and white honey soften the base with a sweet, powdery finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Voters lean somewhat feminine, though a good share call it masculine.
